THOSE who played and still playing the highly addictive Neko Atsume Kitty Collector mobile game will be happy to know that a movie version is in the works.

A very short trailer of the forthcoming movie shows a Japanese guy whose life is about to be overrun by stray cats that come to his place uninvited. The film setting is very much the same like in the game. Fans should quickly recognize the Japanese garden where most cats loiter about and the tatami mats. The main character is seen shopping away online for furniture and items that lure the cats to his place.

​Neko Atsume's movie adaptation is scheduled for release in Japan this April. It would be exciting to see what cats they have playing the role of Tubbs, Joe DiMeowgio, Mr. Meowgi and other fan favorites.

As of January 2017, Neko Atsume has been downloaded 5 million times on Android devices and has a high 4.6 rating. -- MetroPets
